Denon AVR-3802 7.1 Channels Receiver

Pros: accurate
Cons: bright

I got a denon because i read that they were warm in sound and my yamaha was bright. however, i found this denon to be brighter than my yammie. It was however more accurate then yamaha. Also, my yammie sent the drums in music in front of me whereas this 3802 tended to send drum sounds to the rear speakers which i didn't enjoy.

Pros: Many i/o connection options, great sound, more than adequate power for most folks
Cons: Only 1 digital coax audio input, no "night listening" mode, non-intuitive setup

I'm very happy with this receiver. Clean sound, plenty of power, lots of bells and whistles, tons of connection options. For me, this replaced a top-of-the-line (at the time) 5-year old Sony, and I think I'll stick with Denon for the next one. Nice, simple remote, many sound modes, and configuration options.

I have owned this piece for about 6 months and I am very satisfied with its performance and functionality. Denon recently released the 3803 for a couple of hundred bucks more...however the 3802 should still be available in limited supply at great prices. Sub $900. For the money this is an oustanding receiver with every conceivable feature for the mid to high end system. Excellent Learning Remote...

The Sound makes you feel like your right in the movie THE SOUND EFFECTS AND BASS ARE FANTASTIC I have the Denon AVR-3802 with the Klipsch RF 7 Front RF center and 4 RS 7's for the back and surround channels Plus a 880 watt Klipsch Subwoofer You have to hear it to believe4 it.
